Last of the AGP Cards?

[Solid Snake]

With the upcoming new ATI RV670 based video cards with PCIe 2.0 native
support, do you suppose there will be any chance of getting second
generation Direct X 10 cards which are relatively fast? (Talking about it
being on par with the x1950Pro and 2600Pro/XT AGP cards). Will the Rialto
flipchip be able to handle the new PCIe 2.0 spec or is the current cards the
last stand? I know nvidia is not looking back at AGP, but you suppose
AMD/ATi will give us some holdovers with another AGP bone?

S.S.

My guess is no, , , the slower bus, along with the limited number of
boards that support AGP and the CPUs/Memory that will balance well
with those modern, more powerful VidCards, make that a market with
very small demands.
If they were to, the profit margin on them would be low, due to the
small production numbers. You gotta ask youself this: How badly and
how soon would a person be needing a CPU/Mainboard/Memory upgrade if
they already need a videocard upgrade NOW? If the performance of a
modern card isn't needed, people would just get used AGP cards on Ebay
for chump change. .

At least that's how I see it. .

I don't know what's good for dx10. How about video card cost over
$500?
What is the purpose of that price? Is that card like 9250 do all the
thing
for playing game or display graphic and watching TV enough?
